The sharks are about to get caged - and I don’t like it?

All investment activities are BAD.
BAD I tell you!
Woe betide anyone who works in the sector, or looks like they might be involved - by wearing pinstripes for example. I’ve certainly noticed the looks of suspicion as I board the train in the morning clutching my copy of the FT (read in a misguided attempt [...]
